So today was awesome!! first off it was sunny and second off i dont know it was just great! I went to class this morning both irish and postmodern and learned a bunch of random new stuff. in irish we continued to talk about describing people. And in postmodern we finished the lecture from last time and started to talk about Gerhard Richter. The whole time during that lecture i was just like wow, i have seen this before. ahah i guess only a few of you know that my painting teacher back home is OBSESSED with gerhard richter! ahha so i have seen probably every single one of his paintings at least 3 times, as that is how many classes i have had with that teacher! it was interesting though to see it from the ... read more

So today I went to Kilcrea with this lady that I met at church on sunday and a few people from california. I was thinking they were going to be an older couple or something, nope. actually they were just a year younger than i and actually know a few people at poly (dominca, heather and kelly). haha it was so strange to meet them here, so far from home! it was great but made me a little homesick. Not terribly so but just a little bit of missage on my part for things and people back home. I realized that after this month i will pretty much just be traveling and being able to hang out without the pressure of school, at least until exams. and then i am home. so before i know it, ... read more

So today my roommate, lara, and I did free hugs at the bus station:) It was AMAZING!! there was mix of reactions- some saying that we were crazy, some saying no and others (the beautiful others) that opened their arms wide and let a stranger in. It was so great and every person that received and gave a hug just put a big smile on our faces! We met these amazing people and we are now going to start doing it weekly! So please do not write about this at all on my facebook unless it is a private message. If you do I will delete it, so just please don't. but i just want you all to know that i have been dating a guy for about a month. I didn't know if it was ... read more

So today was such a gloriously beautiful day:) It was about 50 degrees but because the sun was out it felt a lot warmer and all I had to wear out was a scarf and my hoodie. Today I did some grocery shopping and got food that I haven't touched since ive been here. Which included eggs, sausage, yogurt and hot dogs! I even splurged on bread which I haven't gotten in about 3 weeks and milk :) haha. I then came back and made myself a FABULOUS breakfast including sausage links, eggs, toast and ketchup. It was so so good, by far the best breakfast I have had since Ive been here. I then crocheted some more, took a nap and then got ready for the gym. My roommates took me the park walk way ... read more

(PRE-WARNING: the end of this goes into a rant about knitting. haha read on at your own risk!!) So today was long but fabulous. Yesterday was long and not fabulous. haha. what happened yesterday? all i can honestly remember is my test. So: it went all right, I did the best I could do (which my mom always tells me is all I could have asked for) I know I aced the memorization part, but the rest about the patronage was quite challenging to come up with without just being banal or repetitive. And linking two images together based on their context gave me a few dear moments of hesitation. So the whole day I was kinda worried about that test so I don't really remember my irish class, earlier in the day, and then after ... read more
